I own the Floor Mats and I find them to be comfortable under my feet (softer rubber than hard-plastic liners) and do the job very well. The Floor Liners are for very hardcore environments like deep snow, heavy mud, etc. and apparently have a one-piece rear design that goes over the transmission hump, not sure how good that will look.

It's personal preference, but I have always had good success with the Floor Mats and that's what I have now. If you don't live in a very snowy region and/or don't work in a mud-related industry, I'd choose the mats over the liners, personally.

Thanks..
I might ask my dealer to give me floor mats instead of floor liners and since they are a lot cheaper than liners I will ask him to give me mud flaps as well

LOL, go for it.

The Floor Liners are a deep-dish for supreme protection. In a car like the F30, probably overkill unless you use the car at muddy building worksites or a ski resort. If you're in Washington state, you deal with a lot of rain, so up to you.

I am also inclined towards mat since I have got the sports Line, The floor mats for sports line have the red piping.. I find it cool

My dealer said, I can have anyone of these for free..
Your advice will be valuable

I have the BMW floor liners, the lips wrapping up the sides were important to me. After two months they still look great. From the pictures they seem comparable to the weather tech digi mats, anyway no issues with discoloration or anything like that. Btw I ordered the BMW ones instead of the weathertech ones only because they came out first. Have a weathertech trunk liner and it is great too.

I am so excited. My car status shows that its with the dealer
This is my first ever car.

Congrats!

This will be my second car ever. You said it took 8+ weeks from order to arrival? How long did it take from order to entering production? Mine still shows it hasn't even entered production yet and I ordered it on 12/26/12..

WT digitalfit is really good but 80$ more than OEM (ship+etc). Have anybody tried the WT liner? i wonder if i should get the trunk mat from WT or OEM.OEM trunk mat look nice and somebody said WT trunk mat do not snug well. Does anybody have experience with it?

got my OEM floor mats for free when I took delivery. couldn't be happier. i'll probably wash and store them away in april and use the cheap free mats all summer. not sure how long the all weather mats will hold up. maybe people are exaggerating?

I have OEM mats in both my cars and they hold up very well. In the MY 2006 X3 since new and don't show any signs of wear. There in from Nov.- April every year Always went with OEM in all the BMW's I've own and were always free from the dealer. Good luck
cheers

i have WT digital fit liners front & back (back is 2-piece, not 1-piece that goes over the hump) and the cargo liner

fronts are okay, but kinda short, wish they were a little longer at the base.. but where your feet go, its good.. you'll still get crap on the carpet, so you have to take em out from time to time and clean up the area.. still better than weather mats imo

backs are nice, nothing to write home about.. they fit perfectly

cargo liner fits snug.. only draw back i found is that since i actually use that little storage compartment underneath.. so it's a PITA to keep lifting up the liner every time i need to access it.. if you don't use that storage, you won't have much problems.. it's nice although a bit pricey

i tried to have the stealership throw in some free mats upon delivery, but they told me that they didn't have any at the moment.. i probably would've ended up buying liners over mats anyway

I second this...I upgraded to the WeatherTech mats in front and they are a nice "deep dish" design but could extend further up the firewall. I am moving to Chicago from SoCal so I wanted something that would catch the mud/snow/salt/etc... during the winters and they should do better than the OEM rubber mats (I had these too). One thing I noticed is that the Weathertech mats feel like they may have changed the rubber material to be a little softer than previous versions I've had. I had the WT mats on a previous car and the material was harder and my feet tended to slide around on them compared to the new ones. Needless to say, I'm happy with the purchase.

Especially the F30 mats which are upgrades over the old E90 mats, have a very-tight custom fit and a lip that runs up 1/2 an inch all around. I've just survived Hurricane Sandy's mud and Blizzard Nemo's show and my carpets are untouched, as if there never was a storm.

There are heavier/thicker options out there, but to say that BMW mats 'suck' is ridiculous. Not sure where these people come from, if they've ever even experienced the very products they're talking about.

100% false. I put in the BMW mats this Christmas and could not be happier. Perfect fit, and while visiting friends in Maine during Nemo (they received over 2 feet of snow) they performed their job very well. I am considering keeping them in year round. So easy to clean and they look good in the car.

I agree on the cleaning. I like to use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner for my all weather mats. Makes them nice and shiny and does a great job.

Weather tech matts are great. I love them. Had it for front seats, back seats, and trunk. For my new ride i will be getting it for my trunk. They are easier to clean then regular matts. Yea they dont have BMW logo, but meh, when driving i am not looking at my feet - hopefully you aren't either
